PLAN  OF  ORGANIZATION 

r 


I.  INSTRUCTION 

1.  The  Bureau  of  Class  Instruction  organizes  and  conducts  classes  in 

cities  and  towns  wh&rever  a  sufficient  number  of  people  can  be 
secured  who  wish  to  study  the  same  subject.  Instruction  is  offered 
in  languages,  literature,  public  speaking,  mathematics,  political 
science,  business  branches,  economics,  engineering,  and  other 
subjects. 

2.  The  Bureau  of  Correspondence  Instruction  offers  instruction  by  mail 

in  the  languages,  in  literature,  mathematics,  music,  drawing,  edu¬ 
cation,  political  science,  engineering,  anthropology,  geography, 
stenography  and  typewriting,  etc.,  etc.  Courses  may  begin  at  any 
time. 

3.  The  Bureau  of  Lectures  provides  lectures  singly  or  in  series  of  six  or 

twelve  for  any  committee,  club,  organization,  or  community  in  the 
State  that  will  make  the  necessary  arrangements  for  their  delivery. 

II.  PUBLIC  SERVICE 

1.  The  Bureau  of  Public  Discussion  promotes  and  directs  interest  in  the 

study  and  the  discussion  of  public  questions  by  assisting  in  the 
organization  of  “Debating  Clubs ”  and  “Discussion  Centers”;  by 
suggesting  subjects  for  the  programmes  of  “Literary  Societies”; 
by  publishing  bulletins  of  value  to  students  of  Oral  English;  by 
co-operating  with  the  libraries  of  the  State  in  recommending 
material  for  study;  and  by  conducting  the  “  Ixterscholastic 
Public  Speaking  League  of  California” — a  state  high  school 
debating  organization. 

% 

2.  The  Bureau  of  Information  and  Municipal  Reference  is  a  clearing 

house  for  inquiries  and  information  concerning  municipal  govern¬ 
ment  and  administration.  It  collects  from  books,  public  documents, 
etc.,  and  from  experts  in  administration,  finance,  public  health, 
engineering,  and  allied  subjects  the  knowledge  requisite  to  the 
solution  of  municipal  problems  and  distributes  the  same  throughout 
the  State.  It  is  allied  with  the  League  of  California  Municipalities 
and  in  conjunction  with  it  provides  for  municipal  exhibits.  It  also 
answers  all  inquiries,  of  whatever  nature,  addressed  to  it  or 
referred  for  answer  by  the  various  departments  of  the  University, 
or  by  individuals  of  the  faculty.

INTRODUCTION 

This  bulletin  contains  a  complete  record  of  all  the  contests  that  have 
been  held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Interscholastic  Debating  League  of 
California  during  the  year  1914-15. 

Eightv-six  high  schools  made  formal  application  for  membership  in 
the  League.  It  was  impossible  to  grant  membership  to  six  of  these  on 
account  of  their  isolated  positions.  Nine  others  found  it  necessary  to 
withdraw  ea*rly  in  the  year.  Thus  the  actual  enrollment  in  the  League 
included  seventy-one  schools. 

Twenty-one  questions  have  been  discussed  throughout  the  year.  These 
are  stated  in  full  on  page  00.  The  proposition  debated  in  each  contest  is 
indicated  bv  number.  Eighty-five  debates  have  been  held  this  year,  in 
which  two  hundred  and  forty-eight  different  high-school  students  have 
participated.  In  these  debates  the  affirmative  was  successful  in  forty-six 
contests  and  the  negative  in  thirty-nine.  Four  officiallv  scheduled  debates 
were  defaulted. 


As  a  result  of  the  introduction  of  the  Extemporaneous  Public  Speaking 
Contests,  the  State  League  will  hereafter  be  known  as  the  Interscholastic 
Public-Speaking  League  of  California.  It  will  be  composed  of  two 
sections — the  Debating  Section  and  the  Extemporaneous  Speaking  Section.

THE  CHAMPIONSHIP  DEBATE 

The  Championship  Debate  was  held  in  Hearst  Hall  on  the  University 
Campus  on  the  evening  of  May  6tli  between  Napa  High  School,  cham¬ 
pions  of  the  Northern  Division,  ana  San  Bernardino  High  School,  cham¬ 
pions  of  the  Southern  Division.  The  question  was,  “Resolved,  that  the 
United  States  should  own  and  operate  all  interstate  railroads.”  The 
northern  school,  upholding  the  affirmative,  was  represented  by  Miss  Gladys 
Murphy  and  Miss  Carrie  Tessin.  The  southern  team,  supporting  the  nega¬ 
tive,  was  represented  by  Mr.  Harry  Kiethly  and  Mr.  Bruce  Zimmerman. 
The  decision  was  unanimously  awarded  to  Napa  High  School.  This 
institution  was  therefore  declared  the  winner  of  the  championship  of  the 
State  League  for  the  year  1914-15  and  was  awarded  the  English  Club 
trophy. 

The  Championship  Debate  was  a  public  speaking  contest  of  the  highest 
order,  each  participant  presenting  an  excellent  argument  in  support  of 
his  or  her  side  of  the  question.  An  audience  approximating  six  hundred 
was  in  attendance. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  during  the  past  year  San  Bernardino 
High  School  took  part  in  eight  debates,  three  of  which  were  simultaneous, 
and  was  represented  by  nine  different  speakers.  Napa  High  School 
participated  in  seven  contests,  two  being  simultaneous,  in  which  seven 
of  her  debaters  participated.  Each  of  the  San  Bernardino  representatives 
spoke  in  two  contests  previous  to  the  championship  debate — never  on  the 
same  team,  however.  Miss  Tessin  represented  Napa  High  School  in  every 
series  and  Miss  Murphy  took  part  in  three  debates  previous  to  the  final 
contest.  With  the  exception  of  the  first  preliminary  series,  Miss  Tessin 
and  Miss  Murphy  were  colleagues,  and  in  all  of  the  four  debates  in  which 
they  were  teammates  a  unanimous  decision  was  awarded  them — a  record 
that  is  exceptional.
